NEW Year, new you? With 2017 approaching many people will be making resolutions, so this year will you pledge to fight for young lives struck by cancer?
CLIC Sargent, the leading charity in the UK for children and young people with cancer, would love everyone in Wiltshire to get inspired to start fundraising in 2017. So why not come up with your own unique fundraising ideas in the New Year?
Become a CLIC Sargent Can Collector, take on that half marathon you’d always thought about, do a raffle at work, become a charity stamp champ, organise a sponsored walk or a charity quiz. Any support you can provide really will make a difference to the families we support.
Our recent Cancer Costs campaign research revealed that when a child or young person is going through active treatment families can be spending an extra £600 a month on average. This puts a massive strain on budgets, causing many to fall into debt.
This isn’t right or fair. With your help in 2017 we can reach those families, providing support financial advice and grants, to help minimise the damage cancer causes to young people beyond their health.
